hid because i figured people pestered for this maybe too many times already:dhorse:??? but i guess the squeaky wheel right… just dont want to be the nail!!!

i thought i’ll wait for 4.33, before leaving any comment here, but… : )
so, while we’re at it: I’d definitely go for -=MORE DETAILED AIRPORTS=-
it’s kinda frustrating, when you go for a ride to a really nice airport like for instance corfu (LGKR) or one that is quite distinctive like ben-gurion (LLBG), just to find out that it has nothing to do with the real thing. the places you spend most of the time close to ground are obviously friendly airports. so this would add significantly to the immersion factor.
if it is of any help, i could provide current pictures of the vast majority of airports within greece, balkans and expanded europe in general (just pm me). but from what I’ve been told this is some kind of limitation within falcon. Is there anything we could do about that?
my 2¢
cheers

idle-detent:
Maybe the bms team could see if they could add a mechanic to the ‘idle detent’ that makes starting the plane more intuitive. Currently when i try to teach this to my friends, that is the part of the ramp start that they always seem to struggle to understand, and we simply have to fall back to rote memorization on the throttle movements and positions for the start-up.
Not sure what they could do, though. Add a throttle animation into the ‘actual’ detent position? So people can see what’s going on visually?
how can BMS build something mechanical?
The code is there already and works like a charm.
All you need is build your detent

Yep. I’m definitively a big fan of RD’s home pit!

something like that graphically in-game
……uh,
if that -is- the elusive ‘idle-detent’ lol

That is the elusive idle detent.

there is a hotspot (the small lever on the throttle) and a kestroke for that already in the code? so what would you need more?
and as I said earlier, an option to implement the idle cutoff in the configurator for those of us having a mechnaical detent on the throttleSo imho, what you are whshing is already available.
-
What a user needs is a hardware modification to the Cougar throttle to somehow have an actual idle detent point, as and a similar point for AB activation. The code is already there in bms to support these 2 points. The last couple of months I have started a project to design and model a new throttle mechanical layout, to be used by users not having a pit like RD with the real arm and detents rail. When time comes I will post a report and progress.

Never heared about that! … I do not think so … IRL we just adjust the volume (one weaker one louder) and that’s it.
I just learned today this is real and even cooler than I thought. It would be awesome to implement this into BMS.
Further reading on it.

adjustable flight stick control so it isn’t so sensitive

Its a F-16! It has to be sensitiv

Get an X65F. It has four buttons for exactly that purpose.

As more member get new cable Internet…. IPv6 climbes up on my wishlist…

The IFF is a good idea, it works in Free Falcon, have not flown it in a while and only have up to update 5 so missing at least one but it seemed to work ok.
But since this is a wish list I really would like to have in the keystroke list a OFF keystroke (callback) for the OFF position of the autopilot. With the Warthog using S4 switch as the shift, (Ctrl 3 Autopilot disconnect ) does not work.The keystroke “a” will always cycle thru from Pitch hold to ATT Hold to OFF but I rarely use ATT Hold. By having a three position autopilot switch, command, Pitch hold, OFF, and ATT Hold you have better options. The BMS call back list has that option (under armament listing). I believe that would be nice to have in the Keystroke file for us that are unable to build scripts

SimRightAPUp “MISC RIGHT A/P MAG SW PITCH ALT HOLD”
SimRightAPMid “MISC RIGHT A/P MAG SW A/P OFF”
SimRightAPDown “MISC RIGHT A/P MAG SW ATT HOLD”
SimRightAPInc “MISC RIGHT A/P MAG SW UP”
SimRightAPDec “MISC RIGHT A/P MAG SW DN”
SimRightAPSwitch “MISC RIGHT A/P MAG SW TOGGLE”
SimLeftAPUp “MISC LEFT A/P SW ROLL HDG SEL”
SimLeftAPMid “MISC LEFT A/P SW ATT HOLD”
SimLeftAPDown “MISC LEFT A/P SW STRG SEL”
SimLeftAPInc “MISC LEFT A/P SW UP”
SimLeftAPDec “MISC LEFT A/P SW DN”
SimLeftAPSwitch “MISC LEFT A/P SW TOGGLE”I think you should be able to perform next actions.

Thanks for the info but I use the Keystroke file not the BMS file It is easier for me after years of Saitek controllers. I’ve tried Using foxy I do have a cougar (currently under repair) but hoping that TARGET GUI software will help me program it. I understand that scripting is much better but I just don’t understand it. Might be age or just not capable of understanding it. I’ve run Foxy tutorial several times but no joy it just doesn’t click. So I’m part of the 10 percent who just can’t. Now if you are telling me that you can mix and match i.e. I can use the Keystroke file and the BMS file together, that’s news to me and would love more information about that. The BMS file has way to many blanks to be filled in with keystrokes for my taste. But I do thank you for the info. What I have done is use the autopilot button as “A” on the warthog The I put the Ctrl 3 in the TG1 and TG 2 (OM) Now it will function almost as advertised. Auto pilot on (pitch hold) trigger pulled to TG 2 and held for 1 second or less A/P will when TG released to OFF position. make climb or descent then push A/P button again. If you pull the trigger a second time without cycling the A/P switch it will cycle down to the ATT Hold position.
So in effect I’ve solve the problem, but added a second switch to the equation not what you want in the heat of battle.
But once again thank you for the response.WeakLink

The IFF is a good idea, it works in Free Falcon
Which is as well implemented than JDAM and FAC mission in BMS.
